Understanding Garage Door Sensors

Before delving into our services, let’s explore the crucial role sensors play in your garage door system:

Garage door sensors are photoelectric eyes that use an infrared beam to detect obstacles in the door’s path. Typically located near the floor on both sides of the garage door opening, these sensors communicate with the door opener to prevent closure if an object, person, or pet is in the way. This safety feature, mandated by law since 1993, has significantly reduced accidents and injuries related to automatic garage doors.

Boston’s unique climate and environmental factors can contribute to various sensor issues:

1. Misalignment due to temperature fluctuations
2. Dirt and debris accumulation from street dust
3. Moisture damage from snow and rain

Our local expertise allows us to address these Boston-specific challenges effectively, ensuring your sensors function reliably year-round.
